COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Experiencing a town, city, country though the eyes and insights of locals is the best way to explore & travel. CS provides for that in the best possible way!

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS
Simon has recently been reading books on Climate change, climate science and travel.

Imogen has been enjoying many & varied topics and titles. One of the pleasures of traveling having more time to read.

MUSIC
We met at a psy-trance music festival so we like to play that at home. Imogen also like other styles such as reggee, dub and some hip-hop (Combat Wombat is awesome).

Simon's tastes are too eclectic to categorise

MOVIES
Sadly we don't get to do this often enough together. Political, drama and travel related would be the general preferences on the movie front.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Marrying/ being married as Elvis
2. Planning the biggest adventure of both our lifetimes (currently)
3. Spending time with the children in our lives (nieces & nephews mostly)

Teach, Learn, Share

Simon and Imogen attempt to live as sustainably as possible. This includes worm farming, growing some of our own food, not owning a car, saving shower water to water our plants and minimising electricity use. Simon is very interested in climate change and what can be done to reduce it. Imogen is learning about sustainable property development and is interested in sharing this with others.
